Chris, I too have a 512MB server with Mosso (Rackspace Cloud), and here is my setup: Ubuntu 10.04 Cherokee from launchpad PHP5 PHP5 FPM
I have another server doing MySQL but let's not concern ourselves with that detail at this time since MySQL has it's own tuning params that you can use. A basic Google search will provide the mysql tuning aspects to make it less of a resource hog (or more depending on your data crunching needs) Here's an output of top: Mem: 508272k total, 331584k used, 176688k free, 35968k buffers What it sounds like to me is that whatever app you are running is using way more memory than it should be. Thus holding it as part of Cherokee, that's why you see some crazy memory allocation. What I would do if I were you is take a careful hard look at what you are running through Cherokee. I am running a highly optimized API and it's what powers the API behind http://theeasyapi.com I know this can be done and this month alone has been used 2,480,302 times. So take a look at what your application is doing, you could also setup a sandbox (another 512MB server) and see with Apache or Nginx or something else if you get the same result.
